Winter Blahs

We haven't been to the farm in awhile.  I was in Australia for a quick trip.  They are having terrible bushfires and both Sydney and Melbourne were hazy with a cloud of smoke.
 The weather was looking yucky for the weekend so we got out ahead of it a little bit.  Welcome present discovered in cabin.
And another one overnight.  Several removed by my helper while I was gone.  We are easily past a dozen so far this season.
 I got the camera tour in ahead of the frozen rain.  It is apparent that the deer have found the turnips and radishes.
 Three+ weeks on the cameras but not a tremendous amount of activity.  Winter pace has set in.  This bruiser bobcat was a highlight.

This camera clock keeps defaulting to 2015 - but these are current pictures.
I hope to see this guy next year.
 This is Joan's birdseed buck.  He's another one for next year.
 He's had this bare spot on his shoulder - hope that he is ok.  He's pretty old.  I've been seeing his "can opener" brow tines for several seasons.


Another one to keep an eye on for next year.  He's got some "moose-like" mass on the right side and a little mule  deer fork on the left.
 Some of the boys hanging out.
 A few general photos showing typical herd health.



A second smaller bobcat making a few appearances.
Coyotes.
And lots of fox photos.




 This one has potential in a year or two.

And some more grandkid photos from the end-of-year visit.









Night time turbo boost.
Neighborhood dogs on the prowl again.
